also like, i think it kind of proves for me that there is a massive disconnect between social media and actual political realities. abla supporters made a lot of noise on social media and seemed very convinced of victory, but it didn’t actually amount to anything

#this has happened repeatedly in scottish and british elections and referendums and people need to fucking learn something from it #social media simply does not (yet) have the same power as the mainstream press #sorry #(altho not sorry in this case because fuck abla hahahah) #but genuinely sorry in general because our press are terrible #and hostile to any left wing or even slightly radical candidate
